The Chair of the Irish Cattle & Sheep Farmers Association has been giving his reaction to an item aired on Morning Mix yesterday
The item featured rural farmer Mattie White who received a lot of reaction to the statement that he would shoot any dog on sight on his land
It follows several devastating dog attacks in recent months on Mr Whites land which resulted in the death of Yeos, Lambs & injuries to cattle, one who lost her calf
Des Green confirmed today to Alan Corcoran that farmers are within the law to shoot dogs on their land, but as a last resort
